Thanks Hermes. I tried moving my knee toward the top tube on today's ride and it worked great.

To make it short, I have found this out. In traffic, toe clips, on bike trails, clipless. Just my opinon.
Sorry, I gave up toe clips in the late 80s. Those things are death-traps.

That's the first thing I do after removing the pedals from the box. The tension is set at minimum.
